The last one down

Over the years we have seen Gerard Butler trying to protect the president, but now he has to step up for himself.

Angel Has Fallen takes a new stand and turns the odds against Mike Banning, played by Gerard Butler. He has to take care of himself now and clear his name and of course fights break out and death follows him everywhere he goes.

I loved London Has Fallen for its incredible action set-pieces, but let’s be honest, it wasn’t a really good movie. It lacked good storytelling and so much more, luckily Angel Has Fallen fixes that, well it tries.

The movie isn’t exactly a masterpiece, but it does deliver where it counts. Butler once again makes the best the best of his leading role and helps you forget about plot holes or a confusing tone. For a few moments you actually enjoy the ass-kicking and drama.

I’m totally into action movies and this one did not disappoint when it came to that. The filmmakers however missed a lot of big opportunities, but it is probably too late to tell them now. Two good things about the movie are, well Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman.

Authorities take Secret Service agent Mike Banning into custody for the failed assassination attempt of U.S. President Allan Trumbull. After escaping from his captors, Banning must evade the FBI and his own agency to find the real threat to the president. Desperate to uncover the truth, he soon turns to unlikely allies to help clear his name and save the country from imminent danger.

My Verdict

Don’t go into the cinema expecting the action movie of the year, we don’t want to see you disappointed. Just go in and enjoy what you see, believe me the lower your expectations the more you will enjoy it. It is a fun popcorn movie and I can see myself watching it again in the near future.

My Rating: 6.2 out of 10 – Good
